Insofta Games has announced the release of
Air Bandits, a shoot'em up arcade game inspired by
Sopwith, the legendary side-scrolling 2D arcade from the 1980s that involved piloting a biplane to destroy various ground targets. In Air Bandits, you play as a pilot of a vintage fighter plane who must soar over the unfriendly territory, bomb the ground targets and take down enemy aircrafts, while avoiding their fire. The level is won when you destroy all targets displayed as red spots on the mini-map. Advancing through 26 increasingly challenging levels, you encounter many different types of ground targets, including fuel supplies, explosives, tanks, anti-aircraft guns and pillboxes. Air Bandits can be purchased from its official
website - a playable demo is now locally mirrored.
